Overview
Aims and Scope
Statistical Analysis and Data Mining addresses the broad area of data analysis, including data mining algorithms, statistical approaches, and practical applications. Topics include problems involving massive and complex datasets, solutions utilizing innovative data mining algorithms and/or novel statistical approaches, and the objective evaluation of analyses and solutions. Of special interest are articles that describe analytical techniques, and discuss their application to real problems, in such a way that they are accessible and beneficial to domain experts across science, engineering, and commerce.
The focus of the journal is on papers which satisfy one or more of the following criteria:
- Solve data analysis problems associated with massive, complex datasets
- Are application and solution oriented with a focus on solving real problems
- Describe innovative data mining algorithms or novel statistical approaches
- Compare and contrast techniques to solve a problem, along with an objective evaluation of the analyses and the solutions
The goals of this interdisciplinary journal are to encourage collaborations across disciplines, communication of novel data mining and statistical techniques to both novices and experts involved in the analysis of data from practical problems, and a principled evaluation of analyses and solutions.
The 21st Century has become a Century of Data, with most domains striving for useful general models for their mountains of data. Data mining and statistical analysis are amongst the most effective bodies of methodology and technology capable of producing useful general models from massive, complex datasets.
Statistical Analysis and Data Mining will be a useful resource to those solving practical problems, at the same time enabling them to benefit from ideas developed in other domains. It will be an international journal, with an interdisciplinary focus, covering areas which are becoming increasingly important, and likely to remain so in the foreseeable future.

DATA SETS
A key goal of Statistical Analysis and Data Mining is to encourage collaboration across disciplines on the analysis of data from practical problems. Reproducibility of data further enables collaboration and allows for a deeper understanding of the problems being solved. As a result, we have decided to implement a new data policy for all papers published in Statistical Analysis and Data Mining.
Upon submission, authors should upload all associated datasets, code, and software used in their article. Files should be uploaded as “Data Files” within the online submission system. Data should be clearly labeled and, along with an explanatory README file, saved as a zip file (or a similar archiving tool). A detailed description of the data should include all variables, along with the code used to analyze the data. For larger datasets, an author might find it more practical to post a dataset in a publicly available repository, in which case the article should include a link to the DOI of the published dataset within the article.
For authors who are unable to post their data, code, or software due to NDA/ownership restrictions, they should provide detailed instructions describing where everything can be located. If the supplementary material is not publicly available, papers will still be considered for publication, but we ask authors to provide a clear explanation upon submission.
Upon acceptance, Data Files will be automatically deposited to figshare, by Wiley, on behalf of the authors. A CC-Zero (no rights reserved) license will be applied by default. The data will be assigned a single DOI and will be automatically and permanently associated with the HTML version of the published manuscript.

The Journal addresses the broad area of data analysis, including data mining algorithms, statistical approaches, and practical applications. Topics include problems involving massive and complex datasets,solutions utilizing innovative data mining algorithms and/or novel statistical approaches, and the objective evaluation of analyses and solutions. Of special interest are articles that describe analytical techniques,and discuss their application to real problems, in such a way that they are accessible and beneficial to domain experts across science, engineering, and commerce.
The focus of the journal is on papers which satisfy one or more of the following criteria:
Solve data analysis problems associated with massive, complex datasets
- Are application and solution oriented with a focus on solving real problems
- Describe innovative data mining algorithms or novel statistical approaches
- Compare and contrast techniques to solve a problem, along with an objective evaluation of the analyses and the solutions
The goals of this interdisciplinary journal are to encourage collaborations across disciplines, communication of novel data mining and statistical techniques to both novices and experts involved in the analysis of data from practical problems, and a principled evaluation of analyses and solutions.
All manuscripts are evaluated for their scientific content and significance by the Editors, an Associate Editor, and at least three independent reviewers.
3. Types of Manuscripts.
Articles are comprehensive accounts of significant experimental or theoretical results. While there are no fixedl imitations to the length of an article, authors are asked to write their manuscripts in a clear and concise manner and to include only data crucial to arriving at their final conclusions.
Perspectives articles summarize the viewpoints of distinguished authors with regard to the current status, lessons learned, and future direction of the field. Perspectives may be submitted only by invitation.
Review Articles provide a comprehensive summary of broadly-based topics of general interest to the fields. Reviews are not limited as to the number of words, tables, figures and references that may be included.
Reviews are by invitation only. Authors interested in preparing a Review Article should provide a brief outline to one of the Editors-in-Chief,requesting an invitation to submit a manuscript.
4. Preparation of Manuscripts.
(a) General Considerations. Authors must submit their manuscripts online to expedite peer review at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sam.
(b) Suggested Reviewers. The Journal encourages that submitting authors suggest at least two reviewers, and up to a maximum of four reviewers. Please include suggested reviewers' contact information.
(c) Assembly. Authors submitting their manuscripts online need only follow the instructions provided above (Section 1). For those who are unable to submit online, please note that separate sheets should be used for the title page, with authors' names and affiliations, and for the abstract.References and notes, tables, and figure legends should be grouped on separate sheets, in that order. Every page, beginning with the title page, should be numbered. Be consistent in author designation and supply given name, initial of second name, and last name. Give the complete mailing address of the place where the work was done and include the telephone, fax number, and e-mail address of the corresponding author. Add the current address and e-mail of each author, if different, on the title page of the manuscript with a numerical superscript and footnote. The corresponding author is indicated by a superscript * (e.g., Smith*).
(d) Title. Titles are of great importance for current awareness and for information retrieval. The wording of titles should be chosen carefully to provide information on the contents and to function as "points of entry" for information retrieval. Symbols, formulas, or arbitrary abbreviations should not be included in the title.
(e) Abstract. The abstract should briefly (80-200words) present,in one paragraph, the problem and solution approach and state the major findings and conclusions. It should be self-explanatory and suitable for reproduction without rewriting. Footnotes or undefined abbreviations may not be used. If a reference must be cited, complete publication data must be given.
(f) Keywords. Please provide up to 10 keywords that reflect the content of your manuscript. In addition to facilitating indexing of articles, our keyword system assists in the assignment of qualified reviewers for your manuscript.
(g) References and Notes.
References: List references in alphabetical order by the lead author's last name. In text citations should use the # sign in brackets to represents the order that the citation is mentioned in the text of the paper. For example, [5] would indicate that this is the fifth citation found in the text.

(h) Supporting Information.The Supporting Information format of this journal can accommodate and make readily available almost any type of supplementary figures or data (e.g., reproductions of spectra, experimental procedures, tabulated data, expanded discussion of peripheral findings,etc.).The author should include a Supporting Information Available statement that describes the material at the end of the printed manuscript text.Consult a current issue of the Journal for the proper wording of this statement. Supporting Information should be clear and of high contrast(suitable for direct photo reproduction) and submitted in quadruplicate on 8.5-×11-in. paper. All pages of Supporting Information must be consecutively numbered. Captions or legends for figures, spectra, etc., must appear directly on the figure. Supporting Information is available free of charge via the Internet (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/).
(i) Acknowledgments. This section should acknowledge financial support, technical assistance, advice from colleagues, gifts, etc. Permission must be received from persons whose contribution to the work is acknowledged in the manuscript.
(j) Tables. Tabulation of experimental results is encouraged when this leads to more effective presentation or to more economical use of space. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Provide a brief title with each table and a brief heading for each column. Clearly indicate the units of measure (preferably SI). Data should be rounded to the nearest significant figure. Explanatory material referring to the whole table is to be included as a footnote to the title (a). Footnotes in tables should be given lower case letter designations and cited in the tables as italicized superscripts. Tables that require special treatment, such as insertion of arrows or other special symbols under or over alphanumeric characters, or contain many structures should be submitted as camera-ready copy. All tables should be cited in the text.
(k) Illustrations. The quality of the illustrations printed in your paper depends on the quality of the originals you provide. Electronic submission of illustrations is encouraged. Preferred formats for graphics and artwork are TIFF (tagged image file format) and EPS (Encapsulated PostScript). John Wiley & Sons, Inc. journal pages are now produced completely electronically. In preparing illustrations, contrast is important. Use dark black ink on high quality, smooth, opaque white paper. Ordinary white bond paper works well. Avoid tracing paper or textured "artist" papers.
Illustrations must fit a one- or two-column format on the journal page:For efficient use of journal space, single column illustrations are preferred.

For best results, submit illustrations in the actual size at which they should appear in the journal. Original illustrations which do not need to be reduced to fit a single or double column will yield the best quality. Lettering should be no smaller than 4.5 points (the Helvetica type-face works well for lettering). Lines should be no thinner than 0.5 point. Lettering and lines should be of uniform density. If you must submit artwork that must be reduced,use larger lettering and thicker lines so that, when reduced,the artwork meets the above-mentioned parameters. Avoid using complex textures and shading to achieve a three-dimensional effect. To show a pattern, choose a simple cross-hatch design.
Color. All color figures will be reproduced in full color in the online edition of the journal at no cost to the authors. Authors are required to pay the cost of reproducing color figures in print. Authors are encouraged to submit color illustrations that highlight the text and convey essential scientific information. For best reproduction, bright, clear colors should be used. Dark colors against a dark background do not reproduce well; please place your color images against a white background whenever possible. Please email sam_ed@wiley.com for further information.
5. Proofs and Reprints. Proofs are sent to the author who submitted the papers. Authors are directed via email to download proofs from a secure FTP site unless authors request otherwise. Proofs should be verified against the manuscript and appropriate corrections made. Substantial changes in a manuscript after type has been set require editorial approval and in some cases may be cause for re-reviewing.
6. Corrections. If errors of consequence are found in the published paper, a correction of the error should be sent by the author to the Editor for publication in the corrections and additions section.
7. Copyright Transfer Agreements. A signed Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) is required to be completed after manuscript acceptance. This must be done using the Wiley Author Licensing Service where authors may also indicate whether the article should be OnlineOpen. After acceptance you will receive an email from Author Services with a link to your "My Publication" page and you will be guided through the process in order to select and sign the correct CTA form. Only original papers will be vested in the publisher. No article can be published unless accompanied by a signed publication agreement, which serves as a transfer of copyright from author to publisher. It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission to reproduce materials that has appeared in another publication.
8. Manuscripts submitted to Statistical Analysis and Data Mining should contain significant, unpublished, original data not being considered simultaneously for publication elsewhere. All authors should be aware of and in agreement with the submission of this manuscript and share responsibility for its content. The manuscript should provide full and appropriate credit to those who contributed to the underlying work. Related research in the field should be acknowledged in the manuscript through appropriate literature citations. Manuscripts should be devoid of any forms of plagiarism with respect to ideas,words,graphic materials or other forms of communication. Authors who violate any of these basic rules of scientific ethics may be barred from publishing in Statistical Analysis and Data Mining at the sole discretion of the Editors.
